Very pleasantly surprised the the v6, it had a lot more power than I would have thought, I didnt get on it really but accelerated at a descent pace, great power band, very smooth ride. Visibility was a little bit of a surprise, I havent owned a camaro in a while but it would take getting used to. The transmission seemed like it was trying to find the right gear at certain speeds, (didnt look down sorry...) Back seat is a joke, zero leg room and Im only 5'11, plenty of headroom.

Overall I was extremely impressed, very nice handling, interior was great, good materials and good feel to it. Obviously the exterior is amazing lol. I would buy the SS when I get one, but this v6 can easily change a lot of peoples minds, especially when you factor in all of the extra costs for insurance and so forth...IMO anyone who purchases a camaro regardless of displacement of motor will be extremely happy and have a state of the art machine.

Nice review but this V6 is going to change peoples perceptions. Especially if Lingenfelter develops that turbo kit.
